Wham! – Last Christmas (Lifelike Snowopolis Remix)

UPDATE: So this is obviously a fake but was a nice try by whomever put it on the interwebs. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Lifelike gets into the holiday spirit with this remix of Wham!’s “Last Christmas”. Lifelike should have remixed Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmas Time”, my favorite Xmas song, I love the intro synth part.

Simple, Yet Effective. That is what Mr. Alkan does best.

SebastiAn – Momy (Erol Alkan Simple, Yet Effective Edit)

Bob Rifo proves to everyone that he is a musical genius with this tune. He channels Vangelis, Giorgio Moroder, Tangerine Dream, Ennio Morricone, along with his raw punk rock emotion and crafts an overture that pays tribute to the mysterious CORNELIUS.

–We are a pop band with influences from rock, electro & disco.

2. What are your influences? Musical or otherwise? What are your first musical memories?

The mysterious and amazing Fake Blood hooked Annie Mac up with this fantastic 5 minute minimix. I love how he gets Busta Rhymes to say “Fake Blood”!! WHO IS FAKE BLOOD?! Apparently not Soulwax. And apparently I have been out of the loop in the blogosphere, DJ Touche Myspace. Thank you Asian Dan readers for informing me.
